Earn Points + Cashback With Every Uber & Lyft Ride: The Complete List to Save the Most

May 23, 2019 by Harlan 5 Comments

I’m always torn between taking Uber and Lyft when it comes to rideshares. I mostly base the decision on which promos I’m chasing at the time. Because both companies let you stack several offers to earn points and cashback rewards every time you ride.

Here’s what you can get with Uber:

200 points (worth $2 in cashback) for each ride when you link your card through Pei – download the app here and enter code “2pur1z” for 500 free points
250 to 500 Freebird points (5,000 points = $10 cashback) when you start your ride through Freebird – download the app here and enter code “OUTANDOUT” for $10 back
1% cashback when you link your card through Hooch – download the app here
$1 in Shop Your Way rewards for every ride, up to $20 per month – link accounts here
Up to 10% back in credits with Visa Local Offers (opt-in through the Uber app)
10 Drop points per $1 for when you link your card with Drop – download the app here

Get to saving every time you rideshare

And here’s what you can do with Lyft:

3X Hilton points per $1 – link accounts
1X Delta mile per $1, and 2X Delta miles on rides to/from the airport – link accounts
30 JetBlue points for rides to/from the airport (up to 1,200 points per year) – link accounts
200 points (worth $2 in cashback) for each ride when you link your card through Pei – download the app here and enter code “2pur1z” for 500 points
250 to 500 Freebird points (5,000 points = $10 cashback) when you start your ride through Freebird – download the app here and enter code “OUTANDOUT“ for $10 back
25 cents for each ride when you tap through Ebates – sign up here (this does NOT stack with Freebird, so choose one or the other – I recommend Freebird!)
10 Drop points per $1 for when you link your card with Drop – download the app here
$10 in credit for every 5 rides when you link and pay with a World Elite MasterCard

And that doesn’t count their respective loyalty programs that are slowly rolling out.

It’s kind of incredible you can get all this back from each ride – when you stack multiple opportunities, the rewards amount to a big rebate, particularly if you take a lot of quick rides around town.

So which one is the better choice?

Points & Cashback for Uber & Lyft

Hacking Uber: Earn Points, Cashback, and Credits Every Time You Ride 🚙

May 2, 2019 by Harlan 12 Comments

Updated 5/23/19.

I’ve been riding Uber more lately because they make it so easy to stack multiple offers when you ride.

Oh, Uber. I am “getting there”

And, I’m hopeful they’re slowly but surely turning things around.

With Lyft, you can only earn 1X Delta miles – and 30 JetBlue points on airport trips. Which, meh.

I’d rather earn cashback and Drop points, use travel credits, and get Uber credits for shopping around town. And many times you can stack these deals. You know I love a good stack!

There are apps you can set up once – and then, if you want, never look at them again. Even better, these apps earn credits for gift cards, get you refunds, or award cashback for setting them up.

Oh and if you can’t find the Plastiq offer listed under “Ongoing Offers” shoot Drop a quick email (inside the app) and ask them to add it for you. Other readers have had success that way.

Lower Plastiq Fees With Drop + 5,000 Drop Points for Out and Out Readers! 💸

September 22, 2017 by Harlan 18 Comments

Spencer from Straight to the Points is back to talk about a new Plastiq promotion… and an exclusive offer for Out and Out readers to earn 5,000 points with Drop!

Update 9/25/17: The Plastiq offer from Drop may possibly be targeted. We are checking to see what we can do. If anything, you still get $5 just for downloading the Drop app with promotion code “outandout“!

Save on Plastiq Fees (Plus a Special Offer from Drop for Out and Out Readers)

A few months ago, Drop launched in the US to much fanfare in the miles and points world as the hot new shopping portal. You just needed to attach your credit or debit card (or cards) and shop as usual.

You can easily earn and redeem Drop points at lots of merchants

Redeem the points you earn for merchant gift cards like Hotels.com, Amazon, American Airlines, and Starbucks to help offset future expenses.

The launch was rough. But Drop is starting to get a handle on the US market. Shortly after launching, they limited the number of points you could earn with their ongoing offers to 5,000 points per week. That definitely put the brakes on some people, but there are still one-time offers to help boost your rebates!

That brings us to today.
